A device for heating a fluid.

摘要

A device for heating of a fluid by means of electrical heating plates (6) or the like in heat transferring contact with a conduit through which said fluid is adapted to flow. A temperature transmitter is adapted to abut a member, carrying contact means (19b), in contact with said conduit for measuring of the temperature of the heated fluid at such a distance from said heating plates that said temperature transmitter is essentially completely uninfluenced by radiant and/or conductive heat therefrom. Said contact means comprise one or more scores (21), so that said fluid at lower rates of flow is concentrated to a flow path in close contact with said temperature transmitter. …The device is primarily intended for use in heating of infusate, such as blood, which is inserted into a patient at flow rates of between 15 and 150 ml per minute.
